Reply to "Instead of power drop feeds..."

You guys of course have great ideas many of which are time-tested as working.

Just bonded the rail joiners using a conductive epoxy and I will say I really like it so far. Won't test the strength until the morning. The epoxy worked it's way around the joiner and rail quite nicely and even came up through to seal the gap between rails.

I  used isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe the top of the rail in case the epoxy got a little too high in the gap. The fact that it fills the gap is a good thing.

Can't tell at all  in the joiner that epoxy was applied. Used a toothpick. Will test the conductivity tomorrow.  This epoxy is made to be conductive and flexible. Unless I'm mistaken this might be a great way to power the rails without having to run all that wiring.
